Hi Dear Steemit community,
Hope you have great time Do you like coffee? My post will bring you to the first festival in Italy related to coffee. Local people love coffee. A beautiful afternoon spent in Turin. In one of the most beautiful square in the city Piazza Carlo Alberto between the National library and the building "Palazzo Carignano" which houses an important museum of Italian history between XVIII and XX centuries.
An occasion for people who like this kind of drink. The idea is combine it with local culture and entertainment.
The process of the coffee beans: the green and the Arabic one. They are selected and picked manually. The selection occured before the process of pulping the coffee bean. The stone fruit (drupa) and its process of maturation.
The most popular blend is the Arabic one which is found in Asia, Africa and America they have a flat extended shape with soft smells and taste.
The process of toasting which consists on keeping on high temperature for 15-18 minutes the green beans become crumbly slight dark brown and fragrant. The control of their colour followed by a cooling process.
(Raw- Light Toasted- Before selected - Selected - Blend over profile Costadoro - Blend profile Costadoro)
If we are talking about Italy a remind goes also to the "Espresso" a drink which consists on a combination between coffee beans toasted and grinded and made by a specific machine (Espresso machine). It was born here in Turin thanks to a chocolate maker Angelo Moriondo . He displayed the first Expresso machine during the General Expo in 1884 in Turin. It was the first one and it was so successful that he won a bronze medal.
Why the name Espresso ? At that time a local newspaper (Gazzetta Piemontese) that Espresso machine were able to make 10 cups in 2 minutes and 300 cups in one hour. Now it is easily to realize the reason why such exhibition occurred here and not somewhere else in Italy.
Previously I mentioned entertainment. Yes I did not expect a show of Ice sculpturing with a summer temperature. A guy with a specific chain-shaw a sharped an ice sculpture.
